Claude Monet

Claude Monet is one of my favorite painters.

Claude Monet: Claude Monet(1840-1926) was a French impressionist who lives in Paris, France.  And his style of paintings is Impressionism.

His father wanted him to go into the family grocery business, but Monet wanted to become an artist and his mother was a singer.  On 1 April 1851, Monet entered Le Havre Secondary School Of The Arts.  One day, he met Eugene Boudin(one of the first French landscape painters to paint outdoors), then he taught Monet “en plein air” (outdoor) techniques for painting.  In college, he met Pierre-Auguste Renoir,Frédéric Bazille and Alfred Sisley.  Together they shared new approaches to art, it became to be known as Impressionism.

Impressionism is a style or movement in paintings.  It doesn’t emphasize what the object looks like, it emphasizes  the object makes impression on you, especially in terms of the shifting effect of light and color.  Their pictures are very bright and vibrant.
